Howdy,i'm creating this thread in hopes of getting logical motives for specific demonlords that i wanted as a patron and then from the answers choose what would fit best my overall desire. Btween grazzt,demogoregon and orcus
1. Why would graz'zt would make a pact with a male drow or any guy for that matter (as it is said,he prefers women overall due to his lusts),what would be a motive for him to reaching out to average ******* evil drow and making a pact with him? Would he seek someone for a spark of potential they bear?
2.why would demogorgon make a pact with any silly humanoid? Normally the prince of demons does pacts because crazy cultists seek him out, but why would he seek any normal guy out? Would he seek someone for a spark of potential they bear?
3.why orcus,the demonlord of the undead, mr.ibloodyhatethefactyouarebreathing seek out anyone? Like demogorgon normally dudes seek him out to become undead or gain necromantic powers,but why would he seek anyone else out? Would he even see you of any note?
And finally the last question: if i want for my character to end up gaining the favor of a demonlord and become a demonic servant underhim,who would be most likely to do it? I personally doubt it would be orcus as he HATES everyone even his own dudes,even the undead?
I really want to make a character that rises to the position of a powerful general of a demon army or a high demon serving a demon lord,like an underdog story where a little guy that has noting climbs his way to the top and earns the boon of his demonic master
So.. could you help this little cultist out and help him out?
1. Graz'zt is not fond of Lolth. Lolth is not fond of males, so Graz'zt might do it to cause issues with the Lolthian hierarchy.
2. Demogorgon has enemies. Having a warlock agent to deal with his enemies agents makes sense.
3. Orcus also has enemies and he wants them /all/ dead. Why not use a warlock that he wants dead eventually to kill as many of his enemies as possible on the way out? Low risk, high reward. It's possible that he seeks out the warlock because of the warlock's unique position to do something that Orcus wants done. Assuming its the same drow from the Graz'zt example from 1, perhaps to steal a necromantic tome from Sorcere.
My money's on Graz'zt. He's a smooth operator who's willing to use the tools he has. Demogorgon would be my second choice. You only need one of the heads to decide to give you power. Maybe one or both of your parents is a member of the cult of Shami-Amourae (https://ghwiki.greyparticle.com/index.php/Shami-Amourae) and you can take them out from the inside.
Orcus? Last pick. That dude's whacked; I got nothing to help a little cultist out for him.
Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.
Graz'zt is my patron, ****ed up a bunch of Orcus Cultists he saw my potential and gave me my power as a reward for me continuing to wipe out Cultists, especially those who worship Orcus!
